Description

Ingredients
  • 200 g Alkaline noodles or egg noodles
  • 120 g Bean sprouts
  • 1 Onion (Thinly sliced)
  • 40 g Chinese chives (Cut into sections)
  • 2 Tablespoon Water
    • Seasoning
  • 1.5 Tablespoon Soysauce
  • 2 Teaspoon Oyster Sauce
  • 1.5 Teaspoon Sugar
  • 2.5 Teaspoon Dark soy sauce
  • A little Seasame Oil
  • A little Seasame
Steps
  1. 1
    Prepare the sauce

    In a small bowl, mix light soy sauce, dark soy sauce, sugar, and oyster sauce until well combined. Set aside.

  2. 2
    Cook the noodles

    Bring a pot of water to a boil. Add the noodles and cook until about 80% done (around 1 minute).

    Drain immediately and toss with a little oil to prevent sticking.

  3. 3
    Stir-fry the vegetables

    Heat a wok over high heat with oil.

    Add sliced onion and stir-fry until fragrant.

    Add bean sprouts and chives, toss quickly, then remove from the wok and set aside.

  4. 4
    Fry the noodles

    Using the same wok, add a little oil and spread the noodles out gently.

    Pan-fry over medium-high heat for about 1 minute until slightly golden.

     

  5. 5
    Season & Combine

    Pour the prepared sauce along the side of the wok.

    Use chopsticks to quickly toss and coat the noodles evenly. 

    Return the vegetables to the wok and stir-fry together for about 1 minute until everything is well mixed and heated through.

     

  6. 6
    Finish

    Drizzle a few drops of sesame oil along the edge of the wok.

    Give it a final quick toss and serve immediately.

    Optional: garnish with sesame seeds or chopped scallions.

Cooking Tips 烹飪技巧
  • Do not overcook the noodles - Over-soaking or over-boiling will make the noodles break easily during stir-frying.
  • High heat is key- Soy Sauce Chow Mein should always be cooked over high heat to achieve a dry texture and wok aroma.
  • Pre-mix the sauce - Adding the sauce all at once helps the noodles absorb flavor evenly and prevents uneven coloring.
  • Add bean sprouts last - This keeps them crisp and prevents excess moisture.
  • Boost aroma if desired - A little minced garlic, white sesame seeds, or black pepper can enhance fragrance.
  • Prevent sticking - Toss the noodles with a small amount of oil before frying to help separate the strands.
